wherein the display sheet in at least one of the front body and the back body extends from a region overlapping the inner member into the waist extended section;
wherein a cover nonwoven fabric that covers a back surface of the inner member extends only from a middle position in the front-back direction in a region overlapping the front side outer member and the inner member to a middle position in the front-back direction in a region overlapping the back side outer member and the inner member;
wherein the liquid impervious sheet has in each of front and back end portions an overlapped portion not covered with the cover nonwoven fabric but overlapped with the display sheet; and
wherein the display sheet and the liquid impervious sheet are directly adhered to each other in the overlapped portions.
